We welcomed back Bill Boyle, friend of Bill Simmermon.
 
Tamie reminded us of the upcoming 2023 District Conference; don't miss the opportunity to meet piano prodigy Jude Kofie - the 11-year-old Mozart. Jude, who has autism, has been highlighted on 9News, Fox News, 7 News and CBS This Morning. Denver Southeast Rotarian Bill Magnusson gave Jude a grand piano after hearing him play. What a wonderful gift, and just one of the many uplifting stories you'll hear at this year's District Conference, Celebrating Rotary's Impact.
 
Shannon O'Brien, a Rotarian from South Lake, TX, was inducted into the Club. Welcome Shannon!
 
We don't always auction wine, the Cone's donated a celebrated piece of art, "Happy Fish" from artist Sally Huss for Pediatric Mental Health. Sally is a renowned painter/writer living in Colorado Springs. Elizabeth purchased the painting and subsequently donated it to the Children's Hospital. Shrin, Terre, and Elizabeth presented the painting to Martine Hyland, Director of Individual Giving Children's Hospital.
 
From the Board Room - Phil Calderbank
  • Guy will be stepping down as Treasurer at the end of this year. Phil will be stepping down as Secretary. Chip Kennedy was selected as the new Treasurer. Claudia Caves is to be the new Club Secretary. Both positions will begin on July 1st.
  • The proposal to start a new Rotary Club at Wind Crest has been dropped, due to a lack of interest.
Thank you, Tamie, for officiating the meeting.
 

Announcements

I couldn't say it any better, from Terre: Our creative members have joined their talents with their kindness creating blankets for Children's Hospital. We have 5 so far. Won't you please bring your blankets to this week's evening meeting to add to this total? Terre will deliver them to Children's on Friday. 

​​​​​​​Last Saturday Elizabeth, Maria, and Robin joined Terre at We Don't Waste where they helped support 450 families from the Denver Metro area. We will be supporting We Don't Waste the 3rd Saturday each month.
